№ A390
304 Admirers
Rare Find
A beautiful 18ct gold carved half hoop ring that was made circa 1880-1900. It has been set five well matched precious opals with a good strong harlequin play of colour. Play of colour is the optical effort seen in Opals where they reflect a range of colours when light is shone on them. The best play of colour is where you can see a range of all the play of colours: yellow-green, orange-red and blue as seen in this ring. It is also known as harlequin. Normally this effort is best seen on black opals but this is an excellent example of harlequin play of colour on white opals. It has rose cut diamond points on either side of the opals that add a little extra sparkle to this ring. It was made circa 1900-1910.

Excellent experience from start to finish, I didn't have a clue what I was doing when looking at engagement rings but was very happy with my purchase. And it seemed to do the trick as she happily said yes :)
The engagement ring we bought from the AJC was perfect, and the service provided was very friendly and attentive. I haven't got anything bad to say!
Service was unbeatable - worked to an extremely tight time scale and dedivvered without a hitch. The ring is perfect and I'm proud to see it on the hand of my fiancé. You guys have made us both very happy!
